Storm@Sea

I have looked at the Storm at Sea pattern a number of times, and I did know you could create a heart shape by manipulating the color. But this quilt came as a complete surprise to me when I realized what the pattern was. My client, Jan G brought this to me, with a couple other quilts, but this one definitely needed to be finished before Christmas.

Hmm, hearts…what should I quilt on those?

Isn’t this an intriguing quilt? Storm at Sea, who would have thought? I quilted feather hearts inside the hearts, of course, using my entire set of heart templates to make the various sizes. Inside the diamond shaped background is a curve filled with pearls and a couple of small feather-like flourishes. The fill is overlapping spirals. Then on the border is a pretty-much invisible undulating feather design.

Note the spiral fill in here

These are called “hook” feathers. Each one is echoed individually as they are created.

So this finishes my updates. I am currently only one quilt behind, which means I’m on top of the world and have enough time to post these blogs!
